If the data in numeric then select the columns and go in

Format > Cell > Number > Custom > write 0#,##.00

your all number will have 0 prefix ....

if in excel, if you want it as text:
=if(len(a1)=1,"0"&value(a1),value(a1))

This will not add 0 to the number, it will just change the way of displaying the number. Meaning if you copy it to another excel and change the format, the number will show without the leading 0.

A better solution is to
- insert a col before (say A) and col after (say C) the col containing your number (consider B).
- in the col A, type 0 or 00 ... and make sure cell format is text.
-in cell C1 insert formula: =CONCATENATE(A1,B1)

now select the col C and copy paste data as Values to break the formula.
You can now delete col A & Col B.

Cheers
